L4D2 Detail sprites
Left 4 Dead 2 has three different sources of where it got its detail sprites from. Some from Counter-Strike: Source, some from Left 4 Dead and some made new for Left 4 Dead 2.
Unfortunately, these are sometimes mutually exclusive, by virtue of needing to use a different "Detail Material File" setting in 
Hammer.
This page lists all vanilla blend textures showing you what "Detail Material File" they use, which in turn shows you which can be used together, and which can not be used together.
If you want to use the textures with different sprites, you'll need to manually create new materials that make use of different %detailtype settings in the vmt. Otherwise you'd see broken sprites on the map.
Warning:%Detailtype "alleydirt_leaves" was never ported from L4D1 to L4D2. It's only used on "nature/blend_alleydirt_leaves", from Crash Course.
%Detailtype "urban_overgrown_docks" does not exist in neither L4D1 nor L4D2.
These two are contained in this Github Repo, amongst many other updates to hammers fgd.Blend Material by Detail Type
DetailSprites
BlendLeavesTrainyardDirtB.vmt is the only material that uses detail/detailsprites. Which means your map can not use any other materials with sprites on it, as none other share this Detail Material.
But you may easily edit this vmt to use a different detailtype. Whatever detail type this vmt has when compiling the map will be used, no matter of the vmt on other machines are not the same.
DetailSprites_Overgrown
These blend materials all use "details/DetailSprites_Overgrown.vmt". These can only be used with each other, or any blend materials that do not have any sprites to begin with.

%detailtypes
When creating custom materials you must make sure all materials make use of the same "Detail Material" setting in Hammer Hammer.
This list helps you achieve this, as you can pick out what detailtype share the same spritecard.
